Installation and server related problems

We use "Moodle v3.1.8" in an isolated offline environment to create course content for our clients.
I have just installed the "H5P (release v1.7)" plugin and now looking for a way to install all of the libraries.

From what I understand I can download and install them one-by-one however writing to ask if there is a way to install all libraries at once?

Hi twilliams,

Yes you need to download all the libraries to be able to use the all the contents. Although you don't really need to download "all" of them. There some sort of a shortcut and the fastest way I found is to download/install Column and Course Presentation. These 2 contents have several content dependencies which automatically gets downloaded and installed with them. What I regularly do when updating or installing a fresh set of of libraries is download a sample content from H5P.org and upload them (IMOO this is faster). And to make the process more efficient I created 2 simple contents to serve this purpose. You can use them as well and here's the link for CP and Column.

I had a scenario where I had to install all the H5P modules in an offline environment. The only way to do this is by visiting the H5P website, click each module one-by-one and click the "reuse" button to download the module file.

I created a little windows application called "H5P Content Downloader" which basically collects all the direct links to the H5P modules and allows you to download them all to the specified folder. I originally made this for myself but felt that others may find this useful so have shared it here - attached to this post. The application is a windows executable (EXE file) which the forum will does not allow, same with ZIP files - so I have simply renamed the extension to H5P which is supported.

How to run (no installation required)

  1. Download the file attached to this post: H5P-Content-Downloader-v1.02.h5p
  2. Rename the extension from "h5p" to "exe"
  3. Double-click the file to launch

Note:

  • The application is not digitally signed which may trigger some anti-virus applications.
  • If you have any troubles running the application try running it as an Administrator
  • If you're still having troubles let me know and I will try and resolve them with you.

For those who are interested, this application was created using AutoIt which is great little scripting tool for creating small, self-contained scripts/applications such as this: https://www.autoitscript.com

For those who just want the direct links to download the modules themselves - here is the list below:

That application is amazing!

The only thing we need now, is one that somehow collates it all into one file, ready for upload to Moodle.

Hi BV52, 

I am using the H5p with my totara solution which is almost similar like mooodle, but I have no idea about h5p libraries and what it is use for, because I have download the plugin of H5P in my totara site but i am keen to know what is the role of libaries.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Kumar,

If you download the plugin and install it, it only installs the core files of H5P. These are the files that lets the plugin interact with the framework it is installed into. The libraries on the other hand are the files that lets you create and use the contents.

Hi AdolfoMora,

The link provided by twiliams above will download the .h5p's with the latest libraries. This is an incomplete list because there are additional content types that were released since the comment was posted. However you can still get them in the examples and download page.

Hi Jony,

You cannot use captivate with H5P. Although you can use the contents offline by downloading and instaling one of the 3 supported self-hosted frameworks. You would also need to install a local server such as XAMPP, WAMP, LAMP, MAMP etc. Then you have to download and install the H5P plugin and the libraries for the contents.

Looks like a nice tool for offline access to H5P....does it automatically update libraries as they are released?

I noticed there is a reporting tool built into Lumi--does it do something different from what is already available (e.g. grader report in Moodle, etc.).

 

Thanks!

Just like the Plugin in Moodle. When the update is available we see the note and we update manually.

Lumi exports to SCORM but export to HTMl file too. In this last case we have the option of generating just one html file or a html file plus a folder with the content. In this html file we have the option to include a way of saving in a file the results of the activity. If studente send Several files of this type, and we put them in the same folder, Lumi show us the results in a table.

Hi ugintl,

May I know exactly what you would like to achieve? If you'd like to download the sample contents you can use the "reuse" button at the bottom of the contents.

The newest versions of H5P keep getting better and better--perfect for helping to support students and teachers during COVID-19!

Quick question:  is there any easy way to upgrade and update H5P and its libraries in Moodle?  Right now, it looks like I have to manually click on the update button for each content type (it's actually 2 clicks per content type and a lot of scrolling--very tedious!)...is this the correct method or am I missing something?

Usually, updating a plugin in Moodle is very simple--just clicking the "Update" button and then upgrading the database.  Or is it completely different in the newest version of Moodle 3.9 that already has H5P baked in?  Then is H5P updated when Moodle is updated?\

Thanks for any help and clarification you can offer!

Hi jliaw,

I'm not really sure if the process will be the same with the new Moodle since it was Moodle's devs that created the integration.

To make the process faster it is best to update the complex content type first like Column since it will also update the libraries of the content types that you can create within it.

Thanks BV for the tip--I'll try that next time to update the Column type first to see if it updates all of the other libraries!

New moodle version updates automatically the librarys, if the administrator upload to the content bank a content that need some updates.

A maneira mais prática é voce simular uma atividade H5P. Na aba "Criar conteúdo" vai encontrar as opções para obter cada biblioteca

Hi all,

I make a test H5P library in Drupal. The library is in a folder with a name like H5P.Name. Inside the folder I have structure like:

H5P.Name
|------ library.json
|------ semantics.json
|------ name.js
|------ name.css

I am interested in to try it in Moodle, but I can't found the way to do this. I zip the folder, and try to upload to the content bank as administrator, but Moodle says Invalid Content. Could you give me an advice about it? Thanks in advance...

Hi Jaime,

You upload libraries in Site Administration -> Plugins -> Activity Modules -> H5P -> H5P libraries.

Hi Claudia!

If I am not mistaken, you're using moodle's integration of H5P that was not created by the H5P core team unlike the H5P plugin for moodle, but that was created by the moodle team. Hopefully, someone in the H5P community can help you still.

If you want support by the developers of that integration, you'll probably want to head over to the moodle forums related to H5P.

Cheers,
Oliver

Thanks for your tool, really nice and easy to download H5P content!
I was also wondering if it's possible to install .h5p files in Moodle with a cli command.
Now you have to upload and install each .h5p file in the backend and that is not very
efficient.
